    I have a Boxster 986 2003. I opened the door panel to replace an arm rest on the drivers side. I left the window up and disconnected 2 wires behind the door handle (black and white). Upon putting everything back, the window no longer lowers in order to open the door. The windows work fine otherwise and go back up when closing the door. Any ideas on what the problem may be or any solutions? Thanks!

  • @rcronk

    Thanks for the thorough video! My issue is with a 2008 Boxster limited edition. The window goes down a bit to allow the door to open, but while the door is open, the window goes back up, so I can't close the door without the window hitting the frame. So I have to pull the handle up slightly to get the window to drop down and then I can close the door and let go of the handle right at the end so the window comes up right as the door closes. This sounds like a different issue. Do you know what this problem is or how I would fix it?

    • @nickgiles355
      @nickgiles355 10 месяцев назад

      That could possibly be due to the tension on the window regulator. You can adjust the cable tension to remove the excess cable. But before you do that reset the glass position. Ignition on, put window all the way down with finger on the switch and when it is at the bottom, keep holding the switch fie 10 seconds. Then put window to the top and hold again for 10 seconds. Then open and close as normal. This resets the measured control of the window and can affect the glass position

    I know this video is years old but just want to thank you, the video on the same topic from PCA did not mention this side of the window assembly. Only after watching your video and disassembling the door further did I find what really needs zip tied and now the window works flawlessly! But something to be noted is the US spec has a speaker assembly that also needs removed to access

    Great video Nick. I've an issue with a sticking clutch - i.e. my clutch not wanting to return after changing up gears if I gun it on to high revs. The clutch was replaced about 2 thousand miles ago in an effort to sort the issue, helped, but didn't completely fix it. It's back to being considerably worse again having gotten the car back on the road after winter though, so I'm now looking at what else might be the issue. Thoughts?

    Well, two things; one, this is clearly the intake vent area on a face-lift, gen.2 Boxster 986 (they're quite different), and it's termed 'de-snorkelling'. Not convinced that it's worth the hassle because it makes NO extra power, and is probably detrimental once the engine bay gets hot, since the filter will suck in warm air as well as rainwater! Porsche knew what they were doing. (Take a look at the fine aerodynamic 'lips' of the plastic vent surrounds on each side.)

      Yes- there are arrows on the top to show the direction of the load. You can rotate the top mount after fitting it to the shock so doesn't need aligning when assembling the shock
